Bạn bè và những người ủng hộ công dân Úc Yang Hengjun đã thúc giục chính phủ Úc gây thêm áp lực lên Trung Quốc sau khi có báo cáo về tình trạng ở tù khắc nghiệt của ông. Có thông tin cho biết Tiến sĩ Yang đã buộc phải lựa chọn giữa thức ăn và quần áo trong mùa đông, trong khi sức khỏe của ông đang xấu đi. Tiến sĩ Yang là một trong số khoảng 60 người Úc bị giam giữ tại Trung Quốc phải đối mặt với những điều kiện tương tự.
Friends and advocates for Australian citizen Yang Hengjun have urged the Australian government to put more pressure on China, after reports of his harsh prison conditions. It's been reported that Dr Yang was forced to choose between food and clothes during winter, while his health had been deteriorating. He is one of around 60 Australians detained in China facing similar conditions.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong told the Chinese Foreign Minister Australians were shocked at the sentence imposed on Australian writer Yang Hengjun. - ペニー・ウォン外相が、中国のワン・イー外相に対し、スパイ罪に問われていたオーストラリア人作家ヤン・ヘンジュン氏の判決について衝撃を受けていると、問題を提起しました。

Australian writer Dr Yang Hengjun has decided not to appeal the suspended death sentance imposed by a Chinese court. He will face life imprisonment at the end of the two year suspended death sentence. He was found guilty of espionage charges which his family say were without basis. They are supporting his decision not to appeal, as going through another legal challenge would delay necessary medical care and be detrimental to his health. But his friend, fellow academic Chongyi Feng told SBS's Pablo Vinales he saddened by the decision, as he believes Dr Yang had solid grounds to appeal against his conviction.
In this bulletin, Australian writer Yang Hengjun, imprisoned in China, won't appeal his suspended death sentence; supporters of Julian Assange hold vigils around the world as his case comes before the High Court in London; and in tennis, Aryna Sabalenka beaten in blustery conditions at the Dubai Championships.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Stock Investors Earned NT$850,000 on Average in the Year of Rabbit Investors in the local stock market pocketed an average of 850,000 N-T in the Year of the Rabbit after the Tai-Ex ended the final trading day of the Lunar year up by 0.2-per cent. Trading in the Year of the Rabbit began on January 30 of last year. Since then the weighted index soared 3,163-points, or 21.18-per cent, to close the year at 18,096-points - boosting market capitalization by 10.76-trillion N-T for a total of 57.52-trillion N-T. This was a marked improvement from the Year of the Tiger - when the main board tumbled by over 2,700-points, or 15.51-per cent. The stock market will resume trading on February 15. Passenger Faces Fine Over Emergency Train Stop in Taitung The Railway Police Bureau says a passenger who deliberately pulled an emergency brake valve that brought an EMU3000 express train to a stop in Taitung County last week could face a fine of up to 1-million N-T. The fine is based on Article 68-1 of the Railway Act. According to the bureau's Hualien Precinct, the passenger has been identified as (確定為) a 28-year-old Taitung resident. He was questioning by police on Monday and law enforcement authorities say the Ministry of Transport will now review the case. The train came to an unplanned stop in Taitung's Jinlun Station when the emergency brake valve in the train's ninth car was pulled. Police say the man has told them he fell asleep on the train and pulled the brake because he had missed his stop. Tobacco Warning to Big Enlarged The Health Promotion Administration says health warnings must have to cover at least 50-per cent of cigarette packaging from next month. According to the administration, the new packaging policy will come into affect on March 22. The warnings are currently required to cover at least 35-per cent of packaging (包裝). The administration says the move is in line with the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. That convention states that all tobacco product packaging carries health warnings and such warnings should cover 50-per cent or more of the packaging area. Chinese Court Sentences Australian Writer to Death A Chinese court has handed Australian writer Yang Hengjun and pro-democracy blogger a suspended death sentence for spying. Human rights advocates say it's an unusually harsh verdict (判決) and it could hurt ties between Beijing and Canberra. Patrick Fok reports. Tokyo Heavy Snow Disrupts Travel Heavy snow in the Tokyo area has knocked out power to homes and disrupted travel. Officials cautioned drivers to avoid nonessential travel. The Japan Meteorological Agency forecast more than 55 centimeters in mountainous areas north of the capital. Central Tokyo had much smaller amounts. More than 100 domestic and several international flights in and out of Tokyo's Haneda airport were canceled Monday. Some highways were partially (部分地) closed, and more than 14,000 homes were without electricity.

16,000 sheep and cattle have been stranded on a ship off the coast of WA for just over a month. The livestock were being exported to the Middle East but the ship was turned back because of the conflict in the Red Sea.

On this week’s episode, Allan and Darren begin on the topic of geoeconomics, which is a core focus of Darren’s research. Allan first offers his practitioner’s perspective on the definition and context of the term, with Darren following with his academic view. Both recognise that nation-states have long been practicing geoeconomic activities, but that the increasing prominence of the term very much reflects the particular challenges of the present moment. A recent Wall Street Journal story on Myanmar’s successful renegotiation of infrastructure contracts with Chinese financiers becomes the focal point of a discussion of the strategic consequences of economic activity, which in turn sees Allan and Darren debate whether the Sri Lankan port of Hambantota and the Australian port of Darwin indeed harbour such strategic significance as to warrant the geoeconomic frame. The discussion rounds out with Darren asking Allan for his advice on how future Australian governments can integrate geoeconomic approaches into future policy. Finally, the very high-profile case of Julian Assange, as well as two other members of the Australian community (Hakeem al-Araibi and Yang Hengjun) shine a spotlight on the consular work of Australian diplomats. What is the decision-making calculus the government, and consular officials on the ground, take when deciding whether and how to make representations on behalf of Australians who somehow fall afoul of local authorities while abroad? As always, we invite our listeners to email us at this address: australia.world.pod@gmail.com We welcome feedback, requests and suggestions.

Welcome to the 75th installment of the Caixin-Sinica Business Brief, a weekly podcast that brings you the most important business stories of the week from China's top source for business and financial news. Produced by Kaiser Kuo of our Sinica Podcast, it features a business news roundup, plus conversations with Caixin reporters and editors. This week: We note that Yang Hengjun 楊恒均, an outspoken writer and former Chinese official who has been an Australian citizen for nearly 20 years, has been detained in Beijing for more than a week. We report that growth in China's personal-consumption spending bounced back last year, as authorities stepped up efforts to encourage consumers to open their wallets. We hear that eight regions in China, including Beijing, are predicting slower economic growth this year, in the latest sign of a worsening economic outlook for the world's second-largest economy. We learn the news that two Chinese farms housing tens of thousands of pigs have been blamed for mismanaging and attempting to conceal African swine fever cases. We discuss Beijing's decision to name 10 of its largest state-owned firms “World Class Enterprises,” a designation that means the government will likely focus resources on them to make them more competitive at home and abroad. We analyze the rebranding of Chinese bike-rental company Mobike after it was bought by internet giant Meituan Dianping. We take a close look at the deal between Alibaba's film unit and Huayi Brothers, one of China's leading independent studios, which is the latest of a growing string of high-profile tie-ups as it tries to claw its way back to profitability. We dive into a recent study that reveals what the average Chinese person does every day. In addition, we talk with Doug Young, the managing editor of Caixin Global, about China's rapid growth in the retail industry. We also chat with Charlotte Yang, a reporter with Caixin Global, about zombie companies in China.
